I voted early, and it took about two and half hours. My husband voted this morning at it took about 35 minutes at probably the busiest time of the day, which in our town seems to be right as polls open.
There's probably a lesson about early voting in this for me.

In and out in about 15 minutes. I even had time to stop off for my free Starbucks before work!

Voted absentee 2 weeks ago.
At lunch, one of my coworkers packed his laptop and went down to his polling place to vote. He expected a long wait, so he took his work. He was back to work in 40 minutes, and that included the time to walk about 15 blocks each way.
The Plain Dealer reported that in Ohio over 1 million ballots were cast early, including about 25% of the registered voters in Northeast Ohio. Over the weekend, there were long lines and about a two-hour wait at the Board of Elections. Most were not bothered by the wait, looking at it as a convenience.

I did the early voting and it took me 1 1/2 hours. People were arguing all over the place, but I am glad I went early because there was complete chaos today.

5 Minutes in line, 10 minutes to vote. Sweet. We had the "fill in the arrow" ballots - weird!

About 5 minutes.
I don't have a class 8th period (Thank You, God!). My principal said that anyone who didn't have a class that period could go ahead and leave early so that we could vote. When I got to my polling place, there were only 2 other people coming in to vote.

I didn't wait at all! I walked right up to an election judge, checked in and was shown to a booth immediately. Of course, I rushed to the polls at 4pm after work thinking I'd have to battle the crowds since everyone at work reported 1-2 hr waits. Guess everyone went out early!
